Percutaneous central venous catheters are widely used in both pediatric and neonatal practice. Complications previously reported with these lines include sepsis, occlusion, limb swelling, catheter retention, and rupture on attempted removal. 1-4 We describe a case in which the catheter ruptured during routine use, with embolization of the distal part into the child's central venous system.
